Rectification, Smoothing and Transformer
 

Rectification, Smoothing and Transformer problem 17


A bridge rectifier contains four ideal diodes A, B, C and D, as shown in the figure below.




The output of the rectifier is connected to a load L of resistance .


  • On the figure above, mark with the letter P, the positive terminal of the load.


  • The variation with time of the potential difference across the input to the rectifier is shown in the graph below.




    Calculate the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) current in the load L.


  • The potential difference across the load L is to be smoothed using a capacitor. On the figure above, draw the symbol for a capacitor, connected to produce smoothing.
